About this title

About the Author:

Carole Peck is the owner of the Good News Cafe in northwest Connecticut.

From Booklist:

For entertaining large numbers of guests, buffets provide economies of space and serving time, permitting hosts to mingle with guests instead of having to serve course after course. Peck (and coauthor Bryant) has devised recipes to update predictable buffets. Cooks contemplating a buffet party are offered a range of practical advice on providing plates, silverware, and comfortable seating arrangements. Recipes employ the whole symphony of contemporary flavor combinations: polenta, fava beans, roasted garlic, and pomegranates. The authors clearly believe that attractive, tasty food offsets guests' inconvenience at having to serve themselves. Their opulent settings and table decorations give buffet parties a memorable aura. Alex McLean's lush and inviting photographs reinforce the presentation theses. Elaborately laid-out buffets give the book a decided caterers' image, but the pictures will stimulate amateurs as well as professional cooks. Mark Knoblauch
